Long fingernails break Guinness World Records title before cut

April 07, 2021

NEW YORK, NY — Guinness World Records (GWR), in collaboration with Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, unveils new measurements for the Guinness World Records title for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands (female) at 733.55 cm (24 ft 0.7 in), held by Ayanna Williams (USA).

After cultivating them for nearly 3 decades, the Texas-native and record-holder cut her iconic nails to embark on a new chapter in her life.

The global authority in record-breaking achievements partnered with Ripley’s Believe it or Not! on Ayanna’s final nail measurements before her nail cutting procedure in Fort Worth, TX, USA.

Her record-breaking nails are now immortalized with the updated record title and new display at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Orlando Odditorium.

When asked about her upcoming nail display at Ripley’s, Ayanna explained, “It’s going to feel like it’s a wax of myself. Even though it’s just my nails, it’s going to be awesome. I can’t wait to see that...

“Guinness World Records and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! are really on it. I’d rather for them to have them than anyone else. And one thing, it’s history for my kids and my grandkids. It’s very exciting.” — SG
